Closing his eye once the curtains had been drawn, he sighed to himself... Oh he'd be back.

Dropping from the roof of the apartment buulding onto the landing of her balcony, there was not the slightest sound coming from anywhere around her save the faint rustle of the wind as it blew through the various plants on the balcony. Walking through the doors, she left them open, the gently night breeze blowing the curtains about; the moonlight streaking across the floor as she walked in. She really did not spend enough time here as many things as she had put in here.
Walking into the kitchen, she pulled out a pitcher of a dark red substance; blood. Though it was not fresh as she would like it, it would work for now until she had time to get a kill or two. "NO! I cannot be thinking that way!," Kerrigan said outloud as she downed teh blood she had poured into a glass, sliding it across the counter away from her. Turning, she walked into the bedroom, taking off her clothes as she walked. She had been in them for what seemed an eternity.
After selecting an outfit, she walked from the bedroom to the bathroom, turning on the shower to let the water heat up, and then stood in front of the mirror. A soft sigh escaped her as she traced teh claw mark scars that ran around her side, then to the two punture scars on ehr neck from when she had been turned, and now the scar from her most recent exploit. She was getting quite the collection. As the steam from the shower began to fog up the mirror, she shook her head in what seemed disappointment, and stepped into the hot water, closing her eyes as she felt the relaxing pressure of the water on her skin.
After she had showered, she walked into the bedroom once again, stretching with a towel wrapped around herself as she did so. Her clothes were set out on the bed where she ahd left them, she belt and magnums laying neatly next to them, along with the two blades and their sheathes that she had grown accustomed to carrying on her back. While she left her weapons there for now, she felt that getting clothes on would be appropriate. Dressing quickly, she then walked into the spare bedroom that she had turned into somewhat of a labrotory, and sighed slightly. Most of the experiments had been ruined in her absence, and she would have to restart most.
The "silver tree" she had been working on was done though, which was no suprise. Luckily for her, it did not need to have anything special done to it. What she wanted, the solid silver from the spiral of copper wire emersed in a blue solution, she could collect at any time. Taking the alrge beaker from the counter, she went over to the sink, and carefully removed the copper spiral from the solution, making wure that the silver would dry to she could flake it off from the wire. Using what had just happened to her, this would make a valuble asset eventually.
She spent hours going through the various solutions and vials, throwing out what was of no furhter value to her, draining various things to gather the precipitants on the bottom, or adding mixtures to other solutions here and there. By the time she looked at the clock, it was very early in the morning. Dawn would be arriving soon. IT was just as well, she found that she was rather tired. Her shoulder winced painfully, and she grabbed it, masking teh pain that shot through her. It was not in her nature to show pain on the outside, and although no one was around, ti was better to practice this all the time instead of just when there are others around.
Cracking her neck however, it was time to train; the punishment she would give herself for getting as injured as she ahd been. Through everything she ahd been through since she first came to New York, she still thought that the reason she was injured was because she was not strong enough to fight the evil of the city. In her jeans and t-shirt, she faced the punching bag that hung in the middle of the room, and began a very extensive workout session.

Krii'Ouse sped up in the Vette, and hopped out swiftly. He had been told that Kerri lived here, and given her apartment number. He buzzed her number, and spoke into it before getting an answer. 'Kerri! Open the door, it's Krii'Ouse. I have to talk to you.'
He stood at the entarnce, waiting for an approval or reply. He needed to get her back to Haven, and fast. That way, they could treat her wound, and get rid of the problem, so she could heal.

Mid round house kick, she paused as she heard the buzz for her door. Cursing slightly under her breath, she walked away from the bag, listening as Krii'ouse explained himself. Lahging slightly, she pushed the button to allow him to come up, though she did not say anything. Granted, she was feeling a little light-headed, and laos she was feeling slightly woozy. That, however, was not ground for ehr to sit in an infirmary for a while. There were things that she had to do, and they could not be done being pampered in such a place at Haven. She resumed ehr training as she waited for him to come upstairs.

Krii'Ouse rushed up the stairs. Reaching her apartment number, he opened the door, and walked in. 'Kerri, I know you don't like being in the infirmary, but if we don't get you back in there and treat you, you're not going to be moving much longer...' he said.
'Esou does not want to lose Kerri-friend!' Esou pitched in.
'Please, Kerrigan, come back with me. We've got things ready to go, we just need you to get in there so we can take care of it.' he said.

As she heard him come in, she still didnt really say anything, pretending instead to be occupied by her training. Spinning around quickly, she threw a hard kick to the middle of the bag, continuing her momentum around and bringing her fist into a strong punch which caused teh bag to teeter around wildly. As he spoke, she sighed, steadying the bag and wiping some sweat from her brow, "Listen guys im feeling fine, really. There is nothing to worry about." Pointing to her wound, which was now nothing more than a scar, she smiled, "It is in the past now!" It was remarkable how well she ahd managed to mask the pain that still surged through ehr every once in a while, and the fact that she was finding it hard to remain standing.
This, however, was something that she had to do, and there was no way that she was going to go back to the infirmary. "Besides, i have a lot of stuff that i have to look after. There are the experiments that i have running, i need to replenish my ammunition stocks, stuff like that! I cannot afford to spend God knows how long in that place. Besides....I might just go insane." She gave them a serious look as she walked into the kitchen past them, grabbing a bottle fo water and chugging a good amount of it down.

Krii'Ouse looked at her with a frown. 'You know you can't hide it from me, Kerrigan. I'm psychic! I know you're lying. We're taking you back. It won't take long. We just have to pull something out. I don't know how the wound healed up... You took a bunch of silver dust into the wound. That's what we have to remove!' He said forcingly.
'Kerri, you'll be back here in a few hours. It won't take long. I'll tell Gail to let you go as soon as the prcedure is over. I don't want to lose my best friends! Len disappeared, I don't need you leaving me, not again.'
He frowned again. 'Either you're coming willingly, or I'm taking you in unconscious. I'm sorry for it, but that's how it's got to be. We have to get that silver out of your blood stream, or it may harm you. Silver may not be fatal to vampires, but it can't be good pumping through your veins.'

She sighed slightly, running her fingers back through her hair as she leaned back against one of the counters in the kitchen. "Fine...but it had better be only a few hours." Thoughts rushed through her head as she chugged teh rest of her water; thoughts about why the hell she was doing this, or allowing others, who had much more inportant things to do than deal with her, take ehr back to an infirmary. Walking into the bedroom, she grabbed her belt and slid it on, placing ehr magnums in their respective holsters before walking back out to join Krii'ouse once more. "Lets get going. The sooner we get this going, the sooner i can leave."

Krii'Ouse hopped into the Krii'Vette. As Kerri slid in, he started the car, and headed out of the apartments' parking lot, hitting the highway, and speeding off through the night back towards Haven.
'I doubt Gail will keep you any longer than you need to be there.' he said as he drove.
'Besides that... you have to stop being so hard on yourself. Don't punish yourself for mistakes, learn from them...' he said, trying to help her out. It wouldn't take toll on her immortal form anymore, but it had as a mortal.
He could tell.

After heading to Haven, they walked a good 6 or 7 blocks back to the apartment building that she called home. The whole while, Kerrigan had tried her best to talk about things that would keep Lydia's mind off the emotional pain that love seemed to bring.
As the ascended the steps of the apartment building, they stopped sort at ehr door, which she opened and stepped into, laughing slightly, "Welcome to Home sweet home...Not much, but it will work." Tossing her coat over the back of one of the chairs in the kitchen, she undid her belt, and the thigh straps to keep the holsters of her guns in place and put them on the counter, along with ehr assortment of daggers, shredder glaives, and finally undid the two straps for the sheaths of her blades, which had been crossed on her back underneath her coat.
Laughing slightly, she turned to Lydia once more, "Make yourself at home. This is the kitchen. My room is over there, thats the bathroom, the training room, my lab, and you can choose either of those rooms to be yours while your here." She pointed to each room in turna ss he spoke about it, walking into the open living room and opening the balcony doors to let the night breeze in. the curtains blew with teh gently breeze as she opened the side windows as well before heading into her own bedroom while she gave Lydia time to settle in. "Ill get us some clothes, and then we can hit the mall. You want anything to eat, or should we eat en route?" she called from the bedroom so that Lydia could hear her.

"Eat here." she replied, scoping out the apartment with Mischief. She picked the room nearest Kerrigan's and started to set up what was going to be her home for the forseeable future. Her clothes she just dumped on the floor while she put her sketch books in a neater pile on the bed. She set up Mischief's stuff with a little more care, but it still had the mark of someone not used to keeping things tidy.

Bringing out a pair of tight blue jeans and a black sequined top for Lydia, she then retrated back to her room and came back with a pair of boots, and a various assortment of jewelry, producing them to her, "These should fit you. If you dont like them, feel free to raid the closet." She motioned to her room before heading into the kitchen, and calling out, "Hope you like grilled cheese! Thats about all i can cook." She alughed slightly as sehe began pulling out what she needed to make the sandwiches.

"What is grilled cheese?" she asked as she took off her own clothes and put on the ones that Kerrigan had provided. The clothes fit fine, although the pants were a little tight. She would manage though. She put on the jewlery, admiring the pieces. She looked at her self as best she could to try and see what she looked like.

"Basically, you butter two pieces of bread, put them on the pan so that they get kind of toasted, and put some cheese in the middle to it melts." As she spoke, she did axactly as she was saying before she made a few sandwiches and put them on a plate. Grabbing two bottles of water, she juggled the three things into the room, pausing slightly as she looked around, supressing a soft laugh. "Glad your comfortable Lydia," she joked as she set the stuff down and smiled at her. "Now, THAT is smexeh Lydia." She laughed slightly, grabbing a sandwich and taking a big bite of it as she gave Lydia a small wink.

"What is smexeh? And why did you wink?" she asked, taking a sandwich. "And what is clubbing?" She took a bite of the sandwich and ate it almost mechanically. She did enjoy the taste of it though, especially the cheese.
